Mrs Smith trembled(颤抖)with excitement when she was told her fortunes(命运)．“Somebody is coming home to you，”Mrs Gray said slowly．“He’s carrying a rifle(步枪)on his back and he’s almost there．”

Mrs Smith felt as if she could hardly breathe．“And there he is!”Mrs Gray cried，pointing to the road．They all rushed to the door to look．

A man in a blue coat，with a gun on his back，was walking down the road toward the Smith farm．His face was hidden by a large pack on his back．

Laughing and crying，Mrs Smith grabbed(抓住)her hat and her children and ran out of Mrs Gray’s house．She hurried down the road after him，calling his name and pulling her children along with her．But the soldier was too far away for her voice to reach him．

When she got back to their farm，she saw the man standing by the fence．He was looking at the little house and the field of yellow wheat．The sun was almost touching the hills in the west．The cowbells rang softly as the animals moved toward the barn(畜棚)．

“How peaceful it all is，”Private Smith thought．“How far away from the battles，the hospitals，the wounded and the dead．My little farm in Wisconsin．How could I have left it for those years of killing and suffering?”

Mrs Smith hurried up to her husband．Her feet made no sound on the grass，but he turned suddenly to face her．For the rest of his life，he would never forget her face at that moment.

“Emma!”he cried.

The children stood back watching their mother kissing this strange man．He saw them，and kneeling down，he pulled from his pack three huge red apples．In a moment，all three children were in their father’s arms．Together，the family entered the little unpainted farmhouse．

Later that evening，after supper，Smith and his wife went outside．The moon was bright，above the eastern hills．Sweet，peaceful stars filled the sky as the night birds sang softly．

His farm needed work．His children needed clothing．He was no longer young and strong．But he began to plan for next year．With the same courage he had faced the war，Private Smith faced his difficult future．

One morning Mrs Smith was driving home after she had done shopping. When she drove near a rubbish dump, she noticed a microwave oven(微波炉) not far from the side of the road.“John is a good electrician!”she said to herself.“Perhaps he can repair this. I'll take it home and let him try.”She picked up the oven and put it in the boot of her car. Then she drove on happily. A few kilometers later, she heard the siren (警报器)of a police car behind her.

Mrs Smith was very puzzled. She slowed down at the side of the road. A traffic policeman got out of the police car and walked up to her.　

“Can I see your driving license and insurance certificate(保险证)，please? ”he asked her. He copied down details of her name, address and the number of the car.“What's wrong, officer?” Mrs Smith asked.

"I'm just taking it home to see if my husband can repair it." The policeman stared at her for a moment to see if she was telling the truth. "That's not a microwave oven." he said at last. "That's our radar set(雷达装置). It was the start of a speed trap. Do you mind if we have it back?"   Mrs Smith's face turned red. "Oh", she said," I'm very sorry. I wouldn't have touched it if I'd known what it was."

Mrs Young was eighty. Her husband died when she was fifty – three and he left her an old car he had had for six years. She learned to drive and loved very much. She liked driving very fast, and was proud of the fact that she had never been caught for a driving offence(违章).

Mrs. Jones was my first patient when I started medical school — and I owe her a lot.

She was under my care for the first two years of my medical training, yet I knew very little about her, except that she was thin, perhaps in her mid 70s. It might seem rather negligent not to know the basic facts of my patient, but I had a valid reason — Mrs. Jones was dead, and had been dead for about three years before I made a patient of her. Mrs. Jones was the dead body that I dissected (解剖) over the first two years of my medical training.

Of course, her name wasn’t really Mrs. Jones, but it seemed a little impolite to be conducting research into someone’s body without even knowing its name, so out of courtesy, I thought she should have one. “Me and Mrs. Jones, we’ve got a thing going on.” went the song coming out of the radio as I unzipped the bag of her on my first day — and so she was christened (命名).

As the months passed, I soon forgot that Mrs. Jones had, in fact, once been alive. One day, though, she suddenly became very human again. I’d been dissecting Mrs. Jones a good 18 months before I got around to the uterus (子宫). After I’d removed it, the professor came up to me, “If you look at the opening carefully, you’ll see that the angle indicates that this woman has had several children, probably three.” I stared at it, and I suddenly felt very strange. This woman, who had given me something incredibly precious that I’d begun to take for granted, wasn’t a dead body. She was a person, a mother, in fact.

At my graduation, the same professor came over to congratulate me. I explained the story about Mrs. Jones to him, and recalled what he’d told me about her having children and how that had affected me all those years ago.

“Well,” he said, “at the beginning of your training you had a dead body and managed to turn it into a person. Now you’re a doctor, the trick is to have a person and not turn them into a dead body,” and he laughed, shook my hand and walked away.

1.What does the underlined word “negligent” in Paragraph 2 refer to?

A.Irresponsible. B.Pitiful.

C.Regretful. D.Miserable.

2.How did Mrs. Jones get her name?

A.She was named after the author’s favorite singer.

B.It came from a song being played during their first meet.

C.It was passed down from the seniors of the author’s school.

D.It just occurred to the author when he opened the bag of her.

3.What could be the author’s feeling for Mrs Jones Now?

A.Indifferent. B.Ashamed.

C.Grateful. D.Guilty.

4.What did the professor imply by his words in the last paragraph?

A.Medical students are able to bring the dead back to life.

B.Good doctors never fail to save their patients from dying.

C.Medical staff ought to have respect for life and humanity.

D.Being a doctor has nothing to do with the medical training.
